The sale of the crown jewels Of
France, which is announced to take place
in Paris, beginning May 2, is an event
which will doubtless excite no little Gu
riosity in the gay French capital. 1t has
q political significance, indicating that
France, in the eyes of the present gov
eminent at least, has done forever with
royalty and Its gew. gaws. The value of
the jewels is estimated at about $4,000.
900, which will be turned into the Golfers
